This is a great place that is really lots of fun to visit. The crowd is pretty much mid-40s and up, a mixture of straight and gay. It's a piano bar sing-along kind of atmosphere. It can get extremely crowded so go early and expect to be tightly seated. Many of the staff carry microphones and sing while they are mixing drinks, wringing up checks, making change and waiting on tables. I was amazed at how they could do all that and still sing the lyrics to all these songs without messing up. It's such a fun place! I ordered the mama Martini which was really good and since it was late at night I just had an appetizer of the prosciutto Croquettes which are fabulous. Prices are in range with what you would expect in New York City and considering you get entertainment, well that's a pretty darn good deal. I had a fantastic time and even though I went alone I quickly made friends that I hope to see there again soon. I will be back! If you haven't been to don't tell Mama this is one of the best and funnest speakeasies in Manhattan. Check it out!
Great piano bar, very small, sitting is very close to each other, but is very cute piano bar, we just stopped for a drink. Live music. Very fun
The concept of a piano bar with interactive sing-alongs is already exciting, but Don’t tell Mama took it to a whole new level. The atmosphere was electric, and the talented bartenders, who also doubled as singers, added an extra layer of magic to the evening. Their voices were nothing short of extraordinary, and their ability to engage the audience and get everyone singing along was simply remarkable.
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the performance at Don't Tell Mama! The singers delivered a beautiful and captivating show that left a lasting impression. Their vocal talents were truly exceptional, making it a memorable experience for the audience. Don't Tell Mama certainly knows how to showcase incredible talent!
Piano bar as interactive entertainment, with the pianist -- a great entertainer on his own -- roping in waitstaff and guests to sing sets and requests, usually with the house singing along on the choruses. Terrific fun.
We didn't try any food, but were happy to fulfill the two drink minimum. Drink consistency between rounds was a bit off, but it was still all good.
Lots of talent, lots of fun, a wonderful way to wrap the evening after a good dinner elsewhere. We'll definitely be back.
Ah! I had SO much fun there this past week. I went on Tuesday night with a friend and it was such a cool vibe. This guy Nick did the best John Travolta from Grease ever. (And he was just really nice service wise, which is always a plus in the city) Even if you don't "do musical theater" piano bars are a blast and this spot is a must!
*Bonus tip, the fries are really good
Another cool place we were introduced to this last trip! Lovely atmosphere, excellent live music, and cold drinks.
Charming and cozy, a must-visit!
T.Rex, the sensational singing bartender, transforms the ordinary into extraordinary with a voice that captivates and elevates the entire experience. From crafting drinks to serenading the crowd, T.Rex creates an unforgettable ambiance. A night at the bar becomes a symphony of flavors and melodies. Can’t wait to come back!!
From the moment you walk in the door and are greeted by Michael with his smiling face the evening can only get better!
I am in NYC every 3 months and DTM is my go to place for great drinks,food and the best entertainment in town!
I am treated like family there and I
love ❤️ it.
Tara,Laura,Joseph,Jon,Mason and Jonathan are so incredibly talented along with Nate,Gerry and JD on piano it just doesn’t get better than that!
A fine time will be had by all.
Looking forward to my next visit!
Very small piano bar. It was packed at the time we went but managed to snag two seats at the bar. We had a great time, everyone sang along and basically all the employees could sing! I mean they had great voices. We only had drinks.
My wife's family and I had a great time! Broadway and musicals and stuff aren't normally my scene, but the atmosphere and the talent of these people is so wonderful, it won me over. Laura Pavles (I think that's her name) could absolutely headline a Broadway Show! And she knows how to make a good rum and coke. ;)
Highly recommend if you're in the area and you're looking for something you'll never forget.
Drinks/FOOD:
1.) Wilde & healthy = ooh this was actually yummy and it was pretty with some floral garnish on top
2.) white wine
3.) chicken tenders - hm kinda salty but didn’t expect much from a bar heheh
SERVICE:
Table service, good
ATMOSPHERE:
Casual bar but with a piano in the back. Gives a nostalgic vibe. Surprising they have two secret Cabernet rooms in the back. I’ll have to check that out some time. Pianist usually singing and playing.
T.Rex, the singing bartender, delivers a jaw-dropping performance with a voice as powerful as their name. Every note is a delightful concoction, blending mixology and melody seamlessly. A night at the bar becomes a musical journey, leaving patrons in awe. #TalentedTunes #MixAndMelody #SingingBartender
What a cool place! We came on a Monday night and Randy, our bartender, was definitely a highlight. He made amazing drinks, sang incredibly, and we all just adored him. I'm honestly jealous of the locals because if I lived in New York, I'd come here all the time. Next time I'm in the city, this is a must!
Astounding ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
One of the places you MUST visit
The greatest service, drinks (almost all for 20$/ in other places with “that” level of entertainment you would pay much more); and the performances …… !!!!!! OMG 😳 i could visit this place every day and never get bored off of it //// your simply the best 🎶 🎼 🎵
The ppl who work there are so talented 🤩
The time will come when someday you will become a superstars 🤩😎⭐️🥰
I’ve read some “one-stars”⭐️ comments and:
1. It’s not true that you cannot record performances
2. The drinks are not overpriced
3. You can order drinks at any time / also during the performances (who have even put this weird review !!!! after all everyone wants to earn some money 💴 so why they would even think to introduce this stupid rule 😂🤣)
Cheers 🥂
